ABI Research Forecasts Broadband to Reach Almost Half a Billion Subscribers Worldwide by 2012.SINGAPORE -- Broadband Internet access Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "broadband", is high speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over modem. Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a is gradually becoming a defining characteristic of advanced industrialized in·dus·tri·al·ize v. in·dus·tri·al·ized, in·dus·tri·al·iz·ing, in·dus·tri·al·iz·es v.tr. 1.

Research's online Broadband Subscribers Database forecasts that the total number of DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary and cable broadband users in the world will grow by an average of 9% annually over the next five years to reach 480 million subscribers by 2012. "The Asia-Pacific region offers a potentially huge market to tap into," says broadband research analyst Serene Fong, of ABI Research's Asia bureau. "In terms of statistical benchmarking In statistics, benchmarking is a method of using auxiliary information to adjust the sampling weights used in an estimation process, in order to yield more accurate estimates of totals. Suppose we have a population where each unit , the subscriber base in the Asia-Pacific region will grow substantially over the next five years, and is expected to outperform other areas. Much of the Asia-Pacific growth is expected to be fueled by the flourishing Chinese broadband market." Broadband DSL will continue to be the fastest growing sector in the industry, as opposed to cable broadband. Asia-Pacific research director and general manager Jake Saunders comments, "DSL is set for stronger growth than cable across the globe mainly because it is able to leverage existing telecommunications infrastructure, leading to lower prices and greater ease of deployment." ABI Research's "Broadband Subscribers Database" (http://www.abiresearch.com/products/database/Broadband_Subscribers_ Database), which is updated twice each year, profiles subscriber trends categorized by operator, by country, and by technology. Users can structure detailed queries, view the resulting datasets as tables or charts, and export the data as spreadsheets. The database forms part of the company's Broadband Networks Research Service (http://www.abiresearch.com/products/service/Broadband_Networks_ Research_Service), which also includes Research Reports, Research Briefs, Market Data, ABI Insights, and analyst inquiry support.
